Mr. Rollins can go **** himself.
Regardless of your feelings on suicide, the guy had ****ing Parkinson's. That's no way to go out.

And all of a sudden I like Black Flag even less now.

Henry's always been a prick though.

Yeah, as someone who suffered through depression and extreme anxiety it really pissed me off seeing one of my heroes feel that way. I used to think Henry Rollings was pretty open minded, pretty damn intelligent, someone to look forward to being one day in terms of being a good person. Most of the people I've been closest too... so close that I could tell them anything... have attempted suicide at least once in their lives, and I would never, ever think less of them. I would be extremely upset, and heartbroken if one my friends committed suicide, but why on earth would I blame them, think less of them, demean them? I would want to remember all the good times we had, all the stupid fun things we did, being there for them when they needed it, making them feel better when they were down.

Depression can be pretty fucking serious, and it really fucks with your head. You start believing really fucked up things, and it's almost like you're stuck in a black hole not being able to escape. I've spent many days waking up, and going to bed looking at my pill bottles on my night stand wondering if today is the day I will down the whole thing and be able to finally escape.

I liked the bloke too. I paid to see him on several occasions. I thought he was intelligent, I thought he was amusing and entertaining, and I thought his taste in music was pretty decent too. Over the years there has been one or two bands I've first read about via Henry Rollins, and he's written about friends bands too so I'd say he has his ear to the ground for new music.

I can only presume that witnessing a friend shot in the head with a shotgun helps to account for his attitude towards suicide, which seems to stem from a very firm pro-life perspective. I do find myself very disappointed in his judgement of those who have taken their own lives though. He shows a total lack of empathy and the fact he has suffered himself just makes that harder for me to comprehend. I wonder, God forbid, if there isnt even a self-serving, congratulatory reasoning behind it. A pat on his own back, knowing he has been there himself and come through the otherside, armed with a disdain for those who werent so fortunate.

Whatever the reason, its pretty ****ing insulting to anyone who have had their own mental health struggles, ever considered suicide, or know people who have.

Buckner and Savoy were arrested and charged with incest, aggravated sodomy and prowling, SavannahNow.com reports.
It's nice to see rednecks doing such a one-eighty on this subject.

She is both right and wrong. Her problem is her myopic perspective on the situation.
